Rory McIlroy’s Pinehurst collapse was a major talking point after the US Open. The Northern Irishman was in contention for the title heading into the final round but shot a disastrous 80 to finish tied for 15th.
McIlroy admitted that he was “very disappointed” with his performance and that he had “a lot of questions” about what had gone wrong, the Telegraph reported.
“I felt like I was playing well all week and I just didn’t get it done on Sunday,” McIlroy said. “I made too many mistakes and I didn’t hit the ball as well as I needed to.”
McIlroy said that he would be taking some time to reflect on his performance and try to learn from his mistakes.
“I’m going to take a few days off and then I’ll start to think about what I need to do to improve,” McIlroy said. “I know that I can play better than I did on Sunday and I’m determined to get back to my best.”
**Positive Goals Key to Mental Game**
A top mental game coach emphasizes the importance of setting positive goals for success on the golf course. Rather than focusing on avoiding mistakes, players should strive for realistic targets that boost confidence and resilience.
“If you’re always dwelling on the negative, it’s going to hold you back,” the coach explains. “Instead, break down your goals into smaller, achievable chunks and focus on celebrating your progress.”
By setting positive goals, golfers establish a clear path forward and reduce self-doubt. They also create a more positive and enjoyable golfing experience.
